I love it when archaeologists find hard evidence that places and people that were mentioned in the Bible really existed.
I especially love it when the discoveries refute cynics' unfounded claims that those places and people didn't really exist.
Then again, I loved the story of the scientists (Warren and Marshall) who believed that bacteria contributed to the development ulcers. Close-minded scientists viewed their theory as preposterous.
So, I guess you could say, I'm happy when the truth emerges in many situations.

No wonder the Athenians made him drink hemlock! It comes of as hostile on purpose to illicit a response.
